Pilot feasibility randomised controlled trial of cognitive-behavioural therapy for functional cognitive disorder after concussion.

Background: Functional cognitive disorder (FCD) may be common after a concussion, and no evidence-based treatment options are available. The current study evaluated the feasibility of a novel cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) protocol tailored to FCD after concussion.

Methods: Participants were randomised to CBT (n=11) or the current standard of care, cognitive rehabilitation (n=13).

Biopsychosocial factors of quality of life in individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury: a scoping review.
